Dear All,
Since the introduction of the new Facebook interface, Seamonkey (Windows 64bit
2.49.5) has become very sluggish. After a couple of minutes the RAM consumption
reaches 2GB and freezes whenever I try to see pictures.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance
Dimitri
I finally upgraded to a 2.53 level on the 10th (Tuesday)
On the 12th (Thursday) I vanished for a couple of days.
This is my first full day back and it has happened to me.
I have a performance monitor running all the time and it kept on showing
peaks of 100% for a few seconds, running "top -i" in a konsole window
made it clear that Seamonkey was causing this. Then the system froze,
totally. The freeze included both "top" the other performance monitor,
a program playing music in the background started repeating one second
the way bad CDs sometimes do. A ping from another system failed, all I
could do was turn the machine off and then restart.
Seamonkey then came up cleanly with a restored session.
This is quite clearly a problem with 2.53.x, I ran 2.49.4 for two years
and this did not happen even once.
The probably cause was a news page which checked for updates every few
(12?) seconds. If this looks like happening again I'll be closing tabs
to see what stops it, 2.49.4 did not like Google Maps much but things
never got to the stage where the entire system became totally unresponsive.
This is a 4-virtual-processor system.
